Dragonfly is a 2002 supernatural thriller film directed by Tom Shadyac from a screenplay by Brandon Camp, Mike Thompson, and David Seltzer based on a story by Camp and Thompson. The film was produced by Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, Mark Johnson, and Shadyac. It stars Kevin Costner as a grieving doctor being contacted by his dead wife through his patients' near-death experiences. Upon release, Dragonfly was a critical and commercial failure, with the film only grossing $52.3 million against its $60 million production budget and was universally panned by critics, who described it as "sappy, dull and muddled" and "too melancholic and cliched".
